DESCRIPTION (ACTUAL IMAGES) ALTHOUGH THE BEATLES BREAKUP BECAME PUBLIC IN APRIL 1970, THE OFFICIAL BEATLES FAN CLUB CONTINUED WITH ITS ACTIVITIES. WITH THE GROUP NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE, THERE WAS NO CHANCE OF ISSUING A NEW ANNUAL CHRISTMAS DISC MESSAGE FOR THE 1970 HOLIDAY SEASON. INSTEAD, MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH AND U.S. FAN CLUBS RECEIVED AN EXCLUSIVE LONG-PLAYING ALBUM CONTAINING THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGES FROM THE 1963 THROUGH 1969 FLEXI-DISCS. FOR AMERICAN BEATLES FANS WHO HAD FACED THEIR FIRST YULE TIDE SEASON WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE BEATLES WERE NO MORE, THE FAN CLUB ALBUM WAS A BITTERSWEET REMINDER OF CHRISTMASES PAST. THE MINT MINUS COVER (SMALL PUSH IN UPPER RIGHT CORNER) REMAINS IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP (WITH TWO FACTORY SHRINK "BREATH HOLES") AND THE MINT MINUS UNPLAYED RECORD DISPLAYS "AS NEW". IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE SHRINK AT THE MOUTH WAS SLICED OPENED, THE RECORD PULLED OUT TO BE EXAMINED, AND THEN STORED SINCE 1970. JUST A MOST STELLAR, WORLD CLASS EXAMPLE OF THIS RARITY. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC ISSUE AND NOT THE REPRODUCTION, DICTATED BY THE TRAIL-OFF AREAS CONTAINING THE BELL SOUND LOGO, THE INITIALS "SF" AND A HAND DRAWN WINCHESTER (RIFLE) LOGO, INDICATING THAT THE RECORD WAS MASTERED BY SAM FELDMAN (HENCE, THE "SF") AT BELL SOUND AND MANUFACTURED BY CAPITOL'S NEW 1969 WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA FACTORY. ALSO CONFIRMING IT'S LEGITIMACY IS THE VISIBLE 1½" DIAMETER RING LOCATED 5/8" FROM THE CENTER HOLE. THE ORIGINAL WHITE GENERIC CAPITOL (APPLE) INNER SLEEVE (5" SEAM SPLIT AT CENTER OF RIGHT SIDE) IS ALSO PRESENT.
